When you go in for a dental checkup, it’s natural to assume the main goal is to find cavities, check fillings, or get a cleaning. However, a dental exam goes far beyond your teeth.

Teeth are among the strongest structures in the human body. They are designed to withstand the forces of chewing, yet serious damage doesn’t always require a blow or a major accident. There is a more discreet and deceptive type of damage: microscopic wear that gradually weakens the tooth from within. These are known as dental microcracks or microfractures.
